Our 9-year clinical experience with the Nd:YAG laser indicates that the conventional methods of tumor treatment in urology should be considered in urothelial tumors. In benign tumors of the genitalia and in penile cancer, the laser application is superior to all other conventional methods of treatment. Stone destruction by laser-induced shock waves could become very interesting, not only in urinary tract stones but also in gall bladder stones.
